Fed up with our collection of old knives that are perpetually too dull. This Kuma knife replaces them all!

After seeing buyer comments at Amazon, all talking about how incredibly (and possibly dangerously!) sharp this knife is, we went for it. We wanted a single all-purpose knife in the kitchen, so fed up with our collection of old knives that are perpetually too dull. We haven't had this Kuma knife very long, but so far, it sure lives up to expectations!

... i received this knife a couple months back i loved it. I took very good care of it

When i received this knife a couple months back i loved it. I took very good care of it, cleaned and wiped after every use and stored it away. I noticed a couple chips on the blade itself. I mean the knife is still sharp after sharpening it, but arent all knives sharp after you sharpen them. Back to the chips - i'm really disappointed that the blade is beginning to chip in 2 different spots. I have knives i do not take care of and they dont even have chips on them at all, so i'm not sure whats going on here. I do like the feel of the knife, but the fact that its chipping so quickly, after 3 or so months is disheartening. Edit: Just wanted to share that i left this review before i contacted support, and after contacting them, they have been nothing but amazing. Since I loved the knife to begin with, i am changing my review to 5stars. Kuma is sending me a replacement knife as mine was defective with multiple chips with minimal use.

Amazing Knife

I've owned and used this knife for over a month now and have been pleased with the results. For the price, you can't really find a better option. It's razor sharp and the edge is really strong. I have not had to sharpen it yet and it cuts through everything so cleanly and easily. It's light weight allows it to move as nimbly as a paring knife, while the long sharp blade does most of the work for you. It's an excellent addition to your kitchen. To keep the price down, they've made the cuts where it was necessary and didn't skimp where it was important.

Super sharp, no frills, quality tool.

I love this knife, I have had it for a few weeks and it works like a charm, even though its a fairly cheap knife. The guard is a little too big at the bottom next to the cutting edge, I will have to grind that off when I sharpen the knife, but so far the edge is staying super sharp, even with use on chicken bones as a cleaver. I purchased this knife after seeing good reviews on youtube (burrfection) and am very glad I bought this. I would also recommend this knife to anyone that wants a serious chef knife at a bargain. I wash it by hand many times but it also goes through the dishwasher with no problems.

Highly recommend this chef's knife!!!

Update: Love my Kuma knife so much, I just ordered and received a second one. Wish they made other knives/sizes. First review: Received this knife a few days ago, and wish I had ordered it much sooner! Making beef stroganoff for 12 today, and the knife cut through 7 pounds of steak, along with the onions and mushrooms with razor sharp ease. Love the balance and love that the knife blade and metal runs through the whole length of the handle. Great chef's knife, and I would recommend this to anyone!

"Not just another knife. It's a Kuma"

I've had this for about a week or two so far. Which doesn't seem like much, but I've already cut my fair share of stuff up. From potatoes to tomatoes! And onions to... whatever rhymes with onions! I transitioned from a $1 chef knife to this. And let me tell you, it makes a world of difference! I haven't done any sharpening or honing on the blade yet and still cuts really well. Whereas with the dollar store knife, you guessed it! Needs to be sharpened often. The Kuma feels very sleek. The blade slices well and retains a nice edge. Which makes me feel much safer while cutting. Now I shred through my prepping phase now. I guess comfort can be pretty opinionated, but its pretty comfortable in my hands. So comfortable I've took to sleeping with it in my hands. Really nice bolster too. Again, blade is holding up well with no maintenance so far. Always a plus. And how 'bout dat price though?! It's like paying for a used Dodge Neon and getting the luxury of a Mercedez instead! Super cool for the company to make such a reasonably priced product. It feels like a steal! If you want a really good review, just go look up "Burrfection Kuma Chef Knife" video review on YouTube. He's really well-spoken on the topic. Anyways -10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! -I named mine Akuma -I'd give it two thumbs up, but one already fell victim to the Kuma! -Just kidding! TWO THUMPS WAY UP!

It's exactly what you want it to be

I bought this for a friend after a fairly glowing recommendation from a YouTube channel. It's a well-made, well-balanced, sharp-right-out-of-the-box chef's knife for $25. Good beefy bolster makes a pinch grip comfortable. The curve of the cutting edge is a little less than what you'd typically see in a European chef's knife, but I find that it makes for a really nice balance between the tip-down rocking chop motion the European knife does very well, and the smooth slicing of a Japanese-style knife. The only knock I can think of (and it's not necessarily a bad thing) is that the steel is a little softer than what you'd normally see in a top-end chef's knife, so it won't hold it's edge quite as long. This does, however, make it faster to sharpen / hone. It also is a little more forgiving for home cooks that may be a bit less precise in their knife work, and allows the knife to survive a bit of torque that would snap a harder, more brittle steel. Great knife, amazing price, totally worth every penny.

Don’t Pass This One By!

I’ve enjoyed this knife immensely.. the edge profile is more conducive to a rolling cut as opposed to a flat chop obviously. It has become one of my primary cutting tools! It is kept razor sharp with an occasional trip across the steel and stropped on a length of folded newsprint slightly damped with a touch of rouge based metal polish.. no expensive series of stones here.. just a humble chef with a few nice tools ... get the knife... you’ll love it... gift the knife!... they’ll love ya for it!

Best knife for the price.

I really enjoy this knife. I've been wanting a new kitchen knife and the German ones I had been looking at were over $100. I watched a YouTube video of a guy comparing this budget knife to a high-end German knife and this baby performed equally well. I decided to give it a try and I love it. A few passes on a leather strop and I was cleanly and effortlessly slicing sheets of paper as a sharpness test. This thing is scary sharp!
